Rev. 19:7-10
"Let us rejoice and shout for joy [exaulting and triumphant]! Let us celebrate and ascribe to Him glory and honor, for the marriage of the Lamb (at last) has come, and His bride has prepared herself. She has been permitted to dress in fine (radiant) linen, dazzling and white--for the fine linen is (signifies, represents) the righteousness (the upright, just and godly living, deeds, and conduct and right standing with God) of the saints (God's holy people). Then [the angel] said to me, Write this down: Blessed (happy, to be envied) are those who are summoned (invited, called) to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he said to me [further], These are the true words (the genuine and exact declarations of God. Then I fell prostrate at his feet to worship (to pay divine honors) to him, but he [restrained me] and said, Refrain! [You must not do that!] I am [only] another servant with you and your brethren who have [accepted and hold] the testimony borne by Jesus. Worship God! For the substance (essence) of the truth revealed [the vital breath, the inspiration of all inspired preaching and interpretation of the divine will and purpose, including both mine and yours]."
Rev. 21: 10-22:6
I won't write out the entirety of these verses but wow! the imagery, simply beautiful! I love how all the details are depicted.
I especially love chapter 21:23
"And the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon to give light to it, for the splendor and radiance (glory) of God illuminate it, and the Lamb is its lamp."
How cool? We were created to worship Him and His glory is soooooo vibrant it illuminates everywhere. This reminds me of Isaiah 6 where it talks about His glory and it's so bright we would be blinded to look directly at Him. wow!
Another mention was made to "Worship God" in Rev 22:9. He wants us to worship Him and Him alone, but it's so easy to place other things, people etc first, sometimes without realizing it.
Very much in awe of our creator, and savior...
